VessRAID 1000i Series Product Manual RAID Level Migration To migrate a disk array is to do one or both: • Change its RAID level • Increase the number of disk drives (sometimes called Expansion) On VessRAID, RAID level migration is performed on the disk array but it applies to the logical drives. Migration takes place on an existing Functional disk array without disturbing the existing data. While the disk array is migrating, you can access the data as before. When migration is complete, your disk array will have a different RAID level and/or a larger capacity. In most cases, you must add one or more physical drives during the migration process. You can never reduce the number of physical drives. The tables below show the migration options for a source logical drive according to its RAID level. The available target RAID levels are shown with their requirements. See “Migrating a Disk Array” on page 122 or page 165. 264
RAID 0 265 Chapter 8: Technology Background A RAID 0 source logical drive can migrate to the following target logical drives: Target Requirements RAID 0 Add physical drives. RAID 1 2 physical drives only. Only a single-drive RAID 0 can migrate to RAID 1 by adding 1 physical drive. RAID 1E 3 or more physical drives. If existing physical drives have no unused space, add 1 or more physical drives. RAID 5 3 physical drives minimum, 16 maximum. RAID 0 must have less than 16 physical drives. If existing physical drives have no unused space, add 1 or more physical drives. RAID 6 4 physical drives minimum, 16 maximum. If existing physical drives have no unused space, add 1 or more physical drives. RAID 10 4 physical drives minimum. Even number of physical drives. If existing physical drives have no unused space, add 1 or more physical drives. RAID 50 6 physical drives minimum, 32 per axle maximum. If existing physical drives have no unused space, add 1 or more physical drives. RAID 60 8 physical drives minimum, 32 per axle maximum. If existing physical drives have no unused space, add 1 or more physical drives.
